PUSHING COERCION.
The Government Again Enforces the
Cloture Rule in the House.


Cloture Rule in the House.
LONDON, May lS.-The House of Com
mons in committee this afternoon began
consideration of the clause section of the
coercion amendment bill. These clauses
propose to extend summary jurisdiction to
conspiracy, boycotting, resistance to eviction
and otfenses designated as the white boy
acts
Mr. Healy moved an amendment limiting
the operation of the clause to offenses COM
mitted after the passage of the act. This
was rejected by vote of 1913 to 100.
Timothy Healy moved that before any
person could be prosecuted under the provi-
slons of the clause the fat of the Attorney
General upon sworn information must first
be obtained
Mr. Holmes, Attorney General for Ireland,
declared that the adoption of such an
amendment wonld render the clause incapa-
BILE of being worked.
The amendment was lost by vote of 219
to 145
OMISSION MOVED.
Rt. Hon. George Shaw Lefevre, Liberal,)
moved the omission of the subsection
making punishable by summary jurisdiction
the act of conspiring to induce any one not
to fulfill legal obligations, or not to use or
occupy land, or not to deal with or work for
any one, or to induce any to interfere
with the administration of the law This,
he contended, was the section which was
meant to be used in the interest of
Irish landlords in the collection of rents by
criminal law before unfriendly tribunals.
No previous coercion act contained any
thing analogous to this subsection. 1t ex-
posed tenants to summary conviction by
resident magistrates interested in preventing
combinations against rackrents. 1t de-
prived tenants of the ordinary protection
accorded English laborers and workmen
against unfairness on the part of employers.
[Cheers.1 Mr.. Holmes contended that the
section applied only TO criminal combina-
tiOns
The debate was proceeding when Mr.. w.
II. Smith moved cloture.
This was carried by vote of 230 to 143
Mr. Shaw Leievre's motion was rejected,
the vote being 223 to 143
The House then adjourned.

He Makes Sharp Deal on Bogus
Telegram and Loses.
OMAHA, NEB., May 1s.--A somewhat
sensational account of the recent failure of
A. w. Swan, the Wyoming cattle king,
was given by prominent man in this city
last night 1t is to the effect that Swan
was made the victim of a gigantic gang
whereby he lost $300000 at once. Not
long since Swan and a number OF men
formed a partnership for the purpose
of buving cattle for foreign shipment.
Swan had made arrangements with a rich
Scotch syndicate who were to buy cattle.
After about 81 ZOO, 900 worth of cattle had
been bought the deal for some reason fell
through. Swan went to New York in the
hope of making other arrangements for the
disposal of the cattle. While there he re-
ceived cablegram purporting to be signed
by the agent of the syndicate Offering him
large advance on the cattle, Swan at
once cabled his acceptance of the offer He
then telegraphed to his partners, Offering
them the price which was originally to be
paid by the syndicate. They accepted, and
all the cattle came into his possession. Then
he notified the syndicate that he was ready
to deliver the cattle and received a reply
saying they had made no such offer. Dill
gent search failed to reveal the agents
whereabouts, and Swan was obliged to dis
pose of his cattle at heavy loss

NEGRO EDUCATION,
Annual Meeting of the Trustees of the
Slater Fund

FORTRESS MONROE, May 1S.--The annual
meeting of the trustees of the Slater fund
for the promotion of education among the
freedmen, was held at the Hygeia Hotel to-
day. The President of the board, Hon. r.
b. Hayes, of Ohio was in the chair. The
other members present were Senator Col
quit, of Georgia; Rev. DIR. Boyce, of Ken
tucky; Messrs. w Z. Dodge and John A.
Stewart, of New York; d. C. Greman, of
Maryland, and w A. Slater, of Connecti-
cut From the report of the General Agent,
DR.. Haygood, of Georgia, it appears that
$40, 600 has been disburSed during the past
year from the income of the fund, an ad-
vance of $4,000 upon the disbursements of
the ySr before.
STATISTICAL INFORMATION
His report, which is printed, contains a
large amount of statistical information in
regard to the progress of the schools which
have received Slater aid. Every institution
thus helped must, in addition to other in
struction, provide industrial training. 1t is
manifest that this condition which was
thought questionable at first now meets
with almost unanimous appreciation. Forty
two schools, most of them training schools
for teachers, have been aided during the
year in sums varying from $500 to 5000
The report of the Treasurer shows that the
original capital of the fund, $l,000,000, has
been slightly augmented and its securities
are well invested.
THE ALLOWANCE FOR THE YEAR.
The session of the board was devoted to
consideration of the wants of the various
schools receiving aid, and an aggregate al
lowance of $45, 900 was made for the years
1878. DR.. Haygood assured the board
that there are many signs of increasing in
terest at the South in the problem of negro
education, and that wise methods of pro-
ceedure have been promoted by the agency
of the latter fund. During the year he has
travelled Ii, 900 miles and delivered over 200
addresses and sermons, besides collecting a
vast amount of information by correspon-
dence and personal interviews.
THE PARTY AT FORTRESS MONROE.
Ex-President Hayes. Senator Colquitt, of
Georgia; President Gilman, of Johns Hop

DETROIT, MICH, May 1S.-A special from
Marquette says: "At o'clock tonight news
was received from Camp 8, ON the Summit
division of the Duluth, South Shore and
Atlantic railroad extension, that the camp
was surrounded by fire. George Grolet,
timber contractor, and eight men
escaped through mile of fire

fighting for their lives. Every available
dish, including cooking utensils, is in use,
and the only water available is from well
and small creek some distance away An
attempt was made to remove the sick men
OF the party, but it failed. When Grolet
and his party were a short distance away
they heard great shouting and saw big
flames and believe that the camp was
burned If so it is feared there viii be a
great loss of life among the panic-stricken
Italians. The report is authentic and great
fears are felt for the men in the camp.
